Reduction of CO2
On the road to climate neutrality, local authorities are faced above all with the task of making their energy supply CO2-neutral. This is the yardstick against which all measures aimed at green electricity and green heat, as well as green fuels, are measured. That is why all the processes within a municipality require in-depth analysis.
In the future, electricity generation that was previously based on fossil fuels will have to be based on the power of the sun, wind, geothermal energy and biomass. Here, too, the following applies: The relevant renewable energy source must suit the individual local conditions. That could be a wind farm or a solar park on the outskirts of the city, photovoltaic systems on the roofs of large municipal properties, or geothermal energy for district heating. If biomass is available locally, it should be included. Rising energy prices are making its use increasingly attractive.
If the generation potential of a municipality is nevertheless insufficient, the remaining energy supply must be switched to green. In the case of electricity, our Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), potential waste heat from industry or large-scale solar thermal systems can help. CO2 neutrality can then be tracked by means of continuous CO2 monitoring, which records the success of the measures implemented and adjusts the next steps accordingly.
